I really enjoyed watching some of your vlogs. I an slightly hard of hearing and currently learning ASL in college. I have been exposed as a child to my parents signing because, back then my mother was also interested and taught my dad. I picked up the language quick and enjoying the moments where I can communicate without the use of spoken word. it's is an awesome thing to think about. I hope you will post more vlog they are really something else :)
Good for you Krista... I Love your expressions and how you explain things with a sense of life. Love it... I love to choose my own Lable too. I want to be interpreter, but we live too far from college and I can't afford to drive, now I'm afraid I am getting too old. BUT I love language. I would love to learn 5 languages b4 I die.
No idea on how to answer your quest for a label but it made me giggle because my partner wanted a label too. I call her a POD-Person LOL. Partner of a Deaf Person.
my name is shae. we already met. did u? i bet you remmy me from assembly. i know your mom. she is soo awesome as you are. and also ur dad...he is the best. they gave me soo joy. wow. im soo happy that i met u and ur family and their family too. hope we can keep in touch each other. and also i hope i can come over and hang out with you and ur parents. they are the best people ever i met in my whole life.
wow Kristina... at first i thought u were deaf or a coda, but ur a COHI... ur signs are beautiful. of course i am deaf and proud mysaelf!!! nice meeting you!!!
Wowie! you got a Deaf heart that came out from your hearing mom/dad. That's cool and new to me. Thanks for sharing.. I love to watch you.. U funny in some ways that is a good medicine for me to laugh :) Thats what I like the kind of people like you. I wish there are more out there. :)
Just a thought to those who liked the idea of ASL-an/ ASLers or something - it is good but it is not global-correct i.e. a NZ child born to NZ Hearing Interpreters cannot call themselves ASLers can they? :D So - that's why I like the COHI label.
Wow - I am finding this quite fascinating - I have never knowingly met a person who grew up with parents who are interpreters. I originally thought about COIA but I like the COHI (i.e. makes more sense). I am a Deaf person myself and I can understand the need for "labels". It is a good way to belong to a group / community and do not have to explain in depth... i.e. I'm a COHI. Enough said :D
"Interpreter" is not much of a personal label but more of a job - IMHO.
you're a COHI. Child of hearing interpreters. of COHF Child of hearing family, but that's 90% of us anyway...and who really want to be known as a COHF (cough) eh.
Labels are about categorization and also identity. So why do you really want to be categorized in Deaf world more specifically? Nothing wrong with labels like "interpreter" or "hearing" -- my mother is a hearing interpreter & doesn't need label like PODA (parent of Deaf adult) to define her. You seem like many terps who need Deaf community more than we need you. I mean no offence, just being straight up. Feel free to message me direct, happy to discuss more! Your ASL good but over the top IMHO.
My own personal experience in the local Deaf Community is that "labels" are paramount to identity (as you previosly stated) since these labels are used as SELF-identification. It shows others who you CHOOSE to be rather than letting others decide who you are.
That's why I was asking for more "labels" to give everyone the beutiful choice to SELF-IDENTIFY rather than being a victim of stereotyping.
From what I have view your speech! I have tried to make something sense of what label on your naturalization ASL is like ummmm.....ASL 11 or ASL 2 or (~~ASL~~) LOL
Wow! I thought you were deaf growing up in mainstream schools. I made mistake. It's often, not always, easy to tell whether people in fluency ASL are deaf or hearing, because I can see whether they have inner voice or "inner sign" and some other factors. Hmmm. How about GUIDW (Grow Up In Deaf World)?
wow interesting i am really impressed with your asl !!! I am approve of COHI since I am deaf lol and I was surprised that your parent are interpreter also thought it was interesting and new to me that I never thought of anyone who grew up in COHI!!!!
OH! Very interesting background! I'm an interpreter with NO childhood bckgrnd and am so jealous! :-) Also, I have 3 kids that I've brought to MANY deaf events, but my husband not a signer, and that makes a big difference. Lucky you! My fav is stories too, and I'll be watching for yours!
Actually, we signed ALOT at home even though we all were hearing. And when we were out with the Deaf Community, we ended up signing to communicate, as well.... I loved it!
My mom call me last night and said "What about COHI?? Child of Hearing Interpreter?" I like that one best, but I can't adopt label myself until Deaf approve..... anybody want to approve me use that ??? COHI?? :D
lol cohi isnt bad at all but i just got idea in pop up cuz like this CODA child of deaf adult so change to coia instead deaf lol cuz that u mention about ur families has many interrupter :D but up to yall :P btw nice to you^^; i like ur personal of interpreter cuz u said that u like be tough interpreter and more be like deaf instead be plain while interpreter lol i have several interpreter friends like that while they were interpretering
i was like more imporess cuz sometime its make bored..like in lecture class or etc i always notice interpreter always more like plain and make me feel bored lol i'd like all interpreter can do like more deaf view instead plain u know what i mean? lol tcare XD!
First of all, WELCOME TO YOUR FIRST VLOG!!! CONGRATS!! :-)
GOOD QUESTION about the label like you... Maybe it should called like Children or Child of Interpreter Adults (COIA).. Hmm it doesnt sound kool! I want something like KOOL name or label!
It's good to see your face and your action with ASL again!! I miss you!!!!!

There really isn't a short response I can come up with that will convey who I am and why I say what I say in this short comment area.
It's tough for vloggers since we put a small piece of ourselves "out there" for the world to see and judge without even knowing us personally.
I don't NEED the Deaf community, nor do I want the Deaf community to NEED me.
I simply enjoy interacting with and learning about PEOPLE. (no matter the label)
(TBC:)
